Camels Back Breaks And Mrs. Nina Putnam Weeps Brilliant Writer nil Koililt'* of Women Chatfrimied to Find Herself EiiniC!>lird in Seandal Nel and Can'l L'n. drrsland V\ ife of Her "'Literary Adviser" By KORKHT T. KMAI.I. 4 Copyrithl. 1923. By Tin Ad?mn?f) New York. Jan. !). ? New York's literary colony has been: thrown into a ferment by the plight in which Mrs. Nina Wilcox Putnam has found herself these last few days and her friends __a_re rallying to her support. Mrs. Putnam says she is suit1 of the loyalty of her friends but as she tossed back and forth in bed at her hotel today she stiii was crying: "My public, my public! What will they think? What will they Buy?"* -j ? - ? * All actors, movie stars and dis tinguished authors today have Iheir.r "public.'* They live for their pub lic. Mrs. I*ut man is no exception' to the rule. Sli ? ? complains that the obcure ..Mrs. Kllzabeth Basset his attempted to crucify her with her public. Mrs. Basset has no public. Therefore she can have no Idea of the pangs and bitterness she has brought* into the lif?- of the. author. ' Mrs. Putman. like many another author. has considctvd herself aloof | from the ordinary affairs and con ventions of life. She has occupied an unique position. It has been her, privilege to sit back in her studio and hold. up the mirror of life to others. She has written brilliantly i and humorously of the frailties and foibles of women. She has struck at the structure of society. As a writer she has tingled the human Iringle with many a leer and Jest. That she should be caught up and | enmeshed in a wfb of; scandal as ro-| mantle' and as real as any of her dreams of fiction, causes her to cry out and rebel against the strange pranks of fate. M rs. Putman, with all her vivid imagination, cannot fathom why Mth. Basset should have turned the tongue of scandal upon her. She says Mrs. Bassett was entirely agree z able when Mrs. Putman took Mr. Bassett into her employment. Mr. Bass< tt has been a clam digger. Mrs.! Basset has been a clam digger's wife. ? Mr. Basset t then had risen above the mud and marshes and had be-i come a house painter. Mrs. Has-' sett thereupon had the* new dignity of being a house painter's wife. This sorely was a step up the social scale.' It was about this time that the: authoress needed some one to drive her car. The doctor had said she must drive no more. Basset t was a neighbor without a steady Job. Why not employ him? Alas, Mrs. Put-, man says she did ? and then her I trouble began. True, she had had troubles before. She had been twice against her second husband were -pending. Mrs. Putman says she doesj pot believe in divorce; she believes in the sanctity of the home. Divorce should be resorted to only when all j other means have failed. However. Bassett was given the Job and he handled the car so well the novelist decided to take ? trip to Canada. Mrs. Bassett was left behind She was no, longer the wife of a house painter. Her husband was driving a great novelist on a tour of Canada, and she should have been satisfied. Hut It seems she wan not. Mrs.' Putman had attired the ex-clam dig ger In immaculate flannel trousers and blue serge coat. Tills wis the beginning of the end. Mrs. Basset t had no new clothes. There had been no usufruct to her from the new employment. The green eyed Monster began to gnaw at her heart. There was a return from Canada, hut It was followed by gossip of the planH for a winter in Florida. The camel's back was weakening fast. Still Mrs. Hassett was silent. She said nothing as the novelist and the old time clam digger whirled away for Palm Heach. The clam digger's | status had changed, however. He was ambitious and Mrs. Putnam fed the fires of his d?"*ir<- to rise In the world. It was not nice to think of "Elleworth" as a chauffeur. So he was made "literary adviser. *' to the distinguished writer. There was another r ig In the camel's back up in Madison Connecticut. Then came the last straw. A picture came up from Palm Heach. It showed Mr. Hassan in a beautiful new Knglish golfing outfit. Mrs. Hassett. bending over the dl?hen and the beds s?iw it. There was an ex plosion. She nays she ha? stood all ?he can. There must he a divorce and Mrs. Putman is to be sued lor alienation. Still Mrs. Batoett, while attracting public Interest, has no public. Even a wise man and hi* money are soon parted by a coal man. 1 fff A Modern Broom Tk? Now 2-PUe. Fuller Broom of A?to? Fibre It makes sweeping ? pleasure TW Fuller Man dei J. H. MtiuNrt Phone 27.

Modern MaKt'UaiiH today can start twice a month on the voyage lhat the early, Portuguese navigator found so diffi cult and perilous, for tile Dollar Steamship Company has an around-' tile-world service, with fortnightly sailings. Encircling the; globe apparently has lost none of its interest for the traveler, if it has become a common place of modern navigation, and on this theory Captain Robert Dollar, picturesque figure of the maritime world, has begun in his eightieth year the first such regular passen ger service !n history.

With the steamship President Harrison sailing from Son Francisco on the inaugural voyage January 5, the company's list called for a sailing every two weeks, after February 7, from New York, liOston, Los An geles and San Francisco.

The President Adams will make,the first sailing from New York on February 7. Ports of cill include Havana, Co Ion. Halboa. Honolulu. Kobe. Shang hai. Hongkong, Manilla. Singapore.! Penang. Colombo.

A national delegation of trade en voys. reprcenting ilie leading com mercial centers of the I'nited States, will make the initial voyage on the President Harrison. The San Fran cisco Chamber of Commerce is man i aging this feature, which is prompt ed by the opportunity' to advance the interests of the American mer chant marines. ^yyOt her liners in the around-the world service are the President Hayes, President Garfield, President Polk, President Monroe and Presi dent Van Huren.
